Analysis
Heading 8479 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof. It divides into 13 six-digit subheadings and 26 eight-digit tariff lines, with 41 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
20 of its 26 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (77%) and 6 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 2.8%. The median line pays duty-free.
The largest subheadings are 8479.89 (other, 8 lines), 8479.90 (parts, 7 lines), 8479.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8479.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 30th percentile of the headings in chapter 84.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Major Household Appliance Manufacturing (335220), All Other General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing (33399) and Construction Machinery Manufacturing (333120). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
